With 100km of pistes and a raft of improvements for the 2006 Winter Olympics – it hosted the freestyle events – Bardonecchia is a great alternative to the nearby Milky Way.

AprésPros and cons
- Two varied mountains and a lot of wood-lined trails
- Chance to ride the Olympic halfpipe and stay in the Olympic Village accommodation
- Usually very nice and quiet during the week
- However, it can get busy with weekend skiers from Turin
- Bus trip required to switch between the two ski areas
- Snow is not that reliable here, despite decent snowmaking
On the Slopes
Much of the resort’s terrain lies on the Colomion sector. At the base there is a good learning area, whilst lying above this is a network of pretty, tree- lined slopes that are well covered by snowmaking to make up for their relatively low altitude. By continuing to ski left you will find the freestyle zone used in the Winter Olympics – if you’re brave enough the halfpipe is well worth giving a go! The smaller Jafferau ski area extends to the resort’s high point of 2694m, although a short hike can get you right up to the summit. This area is suited to intermediate skiers, who will certainly enjoy the long reds and blues above the treeline – just watch out as the return run can be tricky at the end of the day.
Bardonecchia is a decent sized town that does lack a little bit of ski resort atmosphere. That being said, access from Turin is very easy (there is a direct train from the centre to the resort), accommodation is very reasonably priced and there is a good range of restaurants serving good Piedmont food.
In the Resort
There are plenty of hotels to choose from, many of which offer great value rooms – especially during the week. Many are centred around the town centre and train station, but the old Olympic Village or the hotels at the foot of the halfpipe in Melezet provide good alternatives.
Food in the valley and up on the hill is of a good standard, with Italian specialities dominating menus across the resort, all for reasonable prices. Away from the slopes, there are over 20km of groomed cross country trails to explore, 12km of marked and prepared shoeshoeing routes and an ice rink.
Getting to Bardonecchia
Bardonecchia is well connected to nearby Turin, with a brand new motorway installed along the length of the Val de Susa in time for the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, which saw some events staged in Via Lattea. As a result, transfer times can be as little as 40 minutes from Turin Airport. Regular train services run from Turin & Turin Airport along the valley, stopping at Bardonecchia.
Via Lattea has offered discounts on lift passes in previous years for arriving in the resort by train, although this promotion has not been confirmed as running for the 2024/25 – keep an eye on the Via Lattea website for more details. Since late 2023, the railway line between Italy and France via Modane and Grenoble has been shut owing to a landslide near Modane. As a result, international TGV and Frecchiarossa services have been unable to serve the Via Lattea, and will continue to do so until “at least early 2025”. It is recommend to plan your travel carefully to avoid this disruption.
- Turin Airport: <1hr
- Milan Malpensa: 2hrs
- Bardonecchia station, from Paris: 4.5hrs (line currently closed until “early 2025” owing to a landslip)

Favourable Jetstream conditions are bringing good snowfall to the western and northwestern Italian Alps over the course of this week. The southwest will get the best of this, with 10cm down on Tuesday and a further 10cm coming down on Thursday and Friday. This should reach most slopes with the freezing line stay low, at between 1,000 and 1,500m throughout. The northwest will see a similar pattern but mostly a few floccons falling through the remainder of this week.
Conditions turn cold as the weekend moves in, with the freezing line plummeting. Cloud will remain in play, however, with some pockets of sun throughout.
In the northeastern Italian Alps, snowy conditions on Tuesday turn cold but calm, followed by more snow towards the end of the weekend – as the freezing line plummets this will reach most elevations, bringing good snow to most slopes.
